Religious Right Republicans

The Religious Right Republicans are an ultra-conservative faction of the US Republican Party. The Religious Right dates back to the 1935 formation of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, a grassroots organization that promoted conservatism in the Republican Party. Religious Right Republicans typically gavor deregulation, opposition to multiculturalism (such as the demand to make English the official language of America), discrimination against minorities, supporting the involvement of Christianity in politics (such as opposition to abortion and gay rights), and supporting an interventionist foreign policy. Religious Right Republicans typically hail from the American South, emerging from the ashes of the Southern Democrats. Evangelical Christians are one of the largest support groups for the Republicans, with most of them belonging to the Religious Right. Despite the legal separation of church and state in America, the Religious Right tends to use the Bible to justify opposition to progressive reforms such as marriage equality, women's rights, and to claim that Islam is at war with America. The Religious Right is one of the most extreme factions of the Republican party due to its religious fundamentalist views.
